Forecasts

Awesome Allan (7/2), Fareeq (4/1), Robben Rainbow (5/1), Strategic Heights (7/1), Porto Ferro (8/1), Coverham (10/1), Merdon Castle (10/1), Caesar's Comet (12/1), Equally Fast (14/1), Spellmaker (16/1), Fairway To Heaven (20/1), Ubla (20/1)

This is a very tight-knit handicap in which there are plenty with chances. PORTO FERRO belied her odds and went close here last time despite a slow start. If jumping off on terms she has as good a shout as any. Robben Rainbow caught the eye on his first start back after a break and should be on the premises off a competitive mark, and along with Awesome Alan, Strategic Heights, and Coverham has claims. The jury is out on Merdon Castle but any market support would be significant, while both Fareeq and Ubla enter calculations in a tricky heat.
